Garden Goods Direct | Hoya Krimson Queen

Hoya Carnosa Krimson Queen is an absolutely marvelous houseplant with variegated, green, bright pink, and white leaves that emerge on cascading rope-like vines. The trailing and climbing nature of this plant’s waxy leaves make it ideal as a hanging plant or displayed on a trellis. These plants are loved both for their irresistible beauty and low-maintenance care regimen. Ideal care for these popular tropical plants includes bright indirect light and a well-draining soil mix. As the perfect plant for growing in an east-facing window, these funky plants love to soak up some sun. Additionally, we recommend planting your Hoya in a pot with drainage holes and allowing your plant to dry in between waterings. These steps will help protect your plant from the common root rot issue. These plants will also enjoy moderate to high humidity levels and the application of organic fertilizer in the growing seasons of spring and summer. Nicknamed the wax plant, the Hoya Krimson Queen boasts semi-succulent waxy leaves that store excess water. Because of this, an airy succulent potting mix is ideal for the Hoya’s optimal growth. The Krimson Queen will eventually produce beautiful clusters of star-shaped pink flowers as it matures. These unique indoor plants are also popular for their ability to be easily propagated. Propagating Hoya plants consists of taking stem cuttings and placing them in sphagnum moss or water.
